I go to Yahoo.com on nearly a daily basis. I go there to check my email primarily but also to read the news. Yahoo happens to be the main place where I get my news from because it’s convenient, not because I like it or I consider the journalism there to be particularly admirable. When I went there yesterday I saw this article on yahoo about dating. They like to put articles about dating on there from time to time, and I almost never read them because 1) I don’t consider them newsworthy and 2) I don’t particularly value their advice given that they do not share my values and beliefs in general. But what struck me about this article was the picture:
The picture is intended to represent a couple, consisting of a white female and a black male. Normally I would not bother to say anything on this, since, as a matter of principle, I have no objection to interracial relationships. Especially given that I have been in a few myself. However, this is not the first or second time Yahoo has done this. It seems like almost every time they do an article on dating “advice” they always post an image of a white female with a black male, or at least almost always. Now, I have not been keeping track or keeping count because I have something of a life, but I cannot recal ever seeing them posting an image of a white male with a white female on any of these types of articles.
Now, I’m not out to stop any black men if they want to partner with white women, and I am not particularly interested in white women myself, but when someone posts up a series of images like this it sends a message. There is no way these postings are unintentional or not thought through. There is also no way that these images are intended to reflect reality. The fact is that the overwhelming majority of white women still prefer white men. Yahoo needs to check up on the statistics. The only reason Yahoo does not show this is because that is not the image they wish to convey. The most common type of interracial relationship is a white male with an Asian female, but it would still be ridiculous to show that with every article, as it is still not the most common form of pairing. If they did that, then there would certainly be an outcry from Asian males, and justifiably so, because repeatedly and primarily showing a woman belonging to race X with men from race Y invalidates the men of race X.
How does that work? Simply thus, regardless of whether the images are intended to depict reality (which would be grossly inaccurate) or whether they are intended to depict an ideal (which is dubious and subjective), the implication remains that the white male is either unworthy or unable to obtain a white woman. There may be other implications embedded in this as well, such as the notion that we cannot compete with other men for our women, or that we no longer exist. There is no way a man cannot be offended by being targetted in such a way, unless he is either oblivious or self loathing. For a long time the left, driven by cultural Marxism, has sought to neuter the white male. They have already decimated our culture, and now they are trying to invalidate us as men.
So first we hear about Eduardo Severin leaving the US, and now Denise Rich is going. Honestly, I never heard of Denise Rich before the article today, but these two are just samples of a new emigration trend that has developed:
Nearly 1,800 citizens and permanent residents, a record since data was first compiled in 1998, expatriated last year, according to government figures.
The fact that these people are leaving is a serious indictment against the tax policies of our government. Of course rather than acknowledge that, people on the left will say “they are just greedy,” which is not really a valid answer, even if it were true. Regardless of whether or not they are greedy is irrelevant. Greed is a personal issue, and it’s not up to the government to try to change people’s minds or to punish people for “wrong thinking.” In any event, these are the sorts of people who generate jobs and wealth, and when they leave their money will no longer be used to create jobs in the US. This is one of the last things we need during an economic downturn, the last thing we need is four more years of Obungle.
Listen to Judge Roberts/turncoat’s brilliant argument:
“If an individual does not maintain health insurance, the only consequence is that he must make an additional payment to the IRS when he pays his taxes,” Roberts writes. He adds that this means “the mandate is not a legal command to buy insurance. Rather, it makes going without insurance just another thing the government taxes, like buying gasoline or earning an income.”
So apparently putting a tax on nothing is the same as taxing people on a product or on their income. I have heard of taxing commodities and income but I have never heard of putting a tax on nothing. This is brilliant. Talk about squeezing blood from a turnip. It’s hard to justify putting a tax on nothing, and taxing people who have little to no revenue for not buying a service they can’t afford is not going to yield a lot of money. All this will do is make people who are already suffering suffer more. So thanks a lot Obama, and thanks everyone who voted for him, and thank you judge Roberts for turning our lives from crap to crap stew.
So the Supreme Court has decided to pass Obamacare in a 5-4 decision, with traitor John Roberts crossing over to the liberal side. I don’t know whether the Obama administration greased his palm or threatened his family, but it’s done now. There is nothing we can do. Even if the Republicans get the White House and Congress in the next election, which they may because of this, there is still nothing we can do. Any attempt to write a law undermining this and some liberals will sue, it will go back to the Supreme Court, and they will decide just like they did before.
The foremost question on my mind is, what has happened to our country? What has happened to our country? How did we get taken over by a group of people whose ideology is antithetical to the principles this country was founded on, on every point? Part of the reason is because the media is full of such people, and the media influences how many people vote. We also have a growing number of people in the US who hold to an ideology which is antithetical to traditional American values. Part of the reason for that is due to immigration from people incapable of assimilation, but also because of the media and public education indoctrinating people. Another factor may be the decline of Christianity in the US. But in any event, it’s done. What can we do? Not much.
So now we have the government telling us to buy a product, whether we can afford it or not, and if not then they take a bigger slice out of our paycheck. I know I don’t have the money for this. I am a 30 year old man struggling to get started in life so that I can get married and raise a family, and just so that I can be a proper man rather than a 30 year old living with his parents. I make less than $2000 a month, and now the government wants me to pay for something I can’t afford. The government wants to tell us what kind of medical coverage we can have, what to eat, what to drink, and how to live. I don’t recognize their right to do that, but if I don’t go along with this it’s jail time.
I the meantime Obama and his cronies want to legalize thousands of illegal immigrants so that he and his party can have more votes. More votes to do what? What are they good for? Why do we need them? How are they helping us? The economy is depressed enough already without trying to absorb an ever growing welfare contingent. We don’t need this right now, any of it.
I have become increasingly more convinced that there is no future for me in the US, and for others like me who are struggling to get started in life. I think it’s time for us to start leaving the country and moving to other parts of the world where we can find work, and where we will not have to deal with an overbearing big brother type government trying micromanage our lives. Of course the liberals may cheer for out departure, but once we are gone the US will quickly degenerate into an ugly third world hellhole, because it is our people who generate most of the wealth here. Still, that won’t be our problem when we’re gone, and we ought to go where our talents are appreciated. I am looking at China and Korea. I am thinking I will go there for work. I wouldn’t want to become a citizen of China, but maybe Korea. I don’t know. If I had not forgotten my Spanish then I would move to Costa Rica or Argentina, but I forgot it. Maybe what I will do is go to Korea or China for work, and retire to Costa Rica or Argentina later on.
I really don’t think we can do anything to save the US. I think it’s toast. But if you look at Biblical prophecy it seems like the US has to go, because we know that the anti-Christ is supposed to take over all of the world, or at least most of it, and a free and powerful US would be a huge obstacle to that.
I’m just going to keep it short, but this is why drugs are illegal and why we conservatives don’t want them to be legalized, even pot. Do you remember Rudy Eugene? The man who chewed off another man’s face? Well it was not LSD as initially thought, or bath salts. It was Marijuana, that’s it:
Eugene was fatally shot by an officer after he refused to stop the savage attack on Poppo, police said. Witnesses said a naked Eugene was throwing his clothes into traffic and swinging from a light pole shortly before the attack.
The medical examiner’s department also got assistance from an outside forensic toxicology lab, which confirmed that there were no bath salts, synthetic marijuana or LSD in Eugene’s system.
“Within the limits of current technology by both laboratories, marijuana is the only drug identified in the body of Mr. Rudy Eugene,” the statement said.
I have been thinking about Israel again lately. Partly because it has been in the news, but also because I have been arguing with Muslims and White Supremacists again. When I argue with they often think I am Jewish, as if one has to be Jewish to not agree with their garbage. But if you argue with them, you can expect to be called _______ Jew, or Jewish ________. Something along those lines.
Jews are not native to the region:
Both Muslims, White Supremacists, and any other hate group which seeks to delegitimize Israel will use the argument that Jews are not native to the Middle East, but it will often be stated in a variety of ways. They argue that Israel was created by the western powers, and that the people who went there are European converts to Judaism. I have even heard some say that they were European atheists pretending to be Jews just to make Muslims miserable.
First of all, 1948 is not when Israel was created. The nation/people group of Israel began as wandering nomads thousands of years ago in the Middle East. The name comes from the father of the 12 original tribes, who was known as “Israel.” The country of Israel was created thousands of years ago when the Hebrew tribes colonized that region. Since then they have had a continual presence there, even after the Romans exiled the majority of the people there.
The Jews are the only Middle Eastern ethnicity for which their culture managed to completely survive the onslaught of Islam. The other ancient nations of the Middle East had their culture obliterated by Islam. The Egyptians, Arameans, Phoenicians, Edomites, Assyrians, and Babylonians have all had their cultures obliterated and replaced by Arabo-Islam. The Jews managed to avoid that, keeping both their religion and culture intact. The Persians managed to hang on to some of their culture but not their religion(s). The Jews are the oldest Middle Eastern culture which was able to survive completely intact, and their culture is a good deal older than Arabo-Islam, the practitionars of which have the audacity to refer to Israel as an alien entity in the region.
In the 1800′s Jews began returning to their homeland in large numbers, and were divided roughly into two categories; the Mizrachi Jews, and the Ashkenazi Jews. “Mizrachi” refers to the Jews who lived under Islam until they returned to Israel. “Ashkenazi” refers to Jews who lived under Europeans before they returned to Israel. Ashkenazi are the ones who enemies of Israel claim are Europeans converted to Judaism, but those claims do not hold up to logical scrutiny. In the Bible Ashkenaz is listed as a son of Japheth, and Mizraim was a son of Ham, while the Hebrews were listed as coming from Shem. The use of the terms Ashkenazi and Mizrachi are not used to imply lineage, but instead are used as a reference to the people groups which Jews were forced to live under. Ashekenaz was supposedly the father of the Germanic groups, which were the force that shaped medieval Europe, and were either the dominant group in many European countries or the ancestors of the dominant groups. The Jews lived under those people, hence the term Ashkenazi. Mizraim is believed to be the founding father of Egypt, and during the middle ages after Egypt was fully Islamized it was a significant power broker in the Middle East and North Africa. Hence the term “Mizrachi.” Neither term is meant to impy ancestry.
Also, traditional Judaism is not a porselytizing religion. Anyone can confirm this independantly by reading the Tanak, which is more commonly known as the Old Testament. The Jews were commanded to be an example for other people’s, but they were never commanded to go out and win converts. Christianity has a mandate for winning converts but not Judaism. Jesus said to “go out and make disciples of all the earth,” which is why Christianity has spread as much as it has, and also why you can find street preachers trying to convert random people. Who has ever seen a Rabbi standing on the street handing out tracts, or Bibles, or asking people if they want to hear about Moses? It’s unheard of because it does not happen. There is no such movement in Judaism, except for perhaps Messianic Jews who are Jews that have accepted Jesus. But, the gross majority of people in Israel are not Messianic Jews. To suppose that medieval Europeans would have converted to Judaism is asenine. Medieval Europeans were overtly hostile to Jews, and were about as willing to join their community as they were to join a Gypsy caravan. Jews also discouraged marrying out. Either one of those factors by itself is sufficient to minimize the occurance of outmarriages, keeping them to the barest trickle at most.
Here are some images of famouse Ashkenazi Jews involved in entertainment:
Noticing a pattern?
Israel is an Apartheid State:
The term “Apartheid” is not valid on semantic grounds, as it implies a racial segregation, and there is no grounds for classifying the Jewish people as a separate race from Syrians, Jordanians, or Arabs. A separate culture, most definitely so, but not a separate race. However, even if that were the case, the term would still not fit.
Meet Corporal Elinor Joseph, a Christian Israeli-Arab who serves in the IDF:
Although not Jewish, and although her first language is Arabic, she is still a patriotic citizen of Israel, who not only voluntarily joined the IDF, but who joined with the goal of serving in a combat position.
Elinor had this to say about the IDF and her treatment there:
“It is a satisfaction to complete challenging things. I feel that in the army I matured a lot and became more responsible than I used to be… I have always been respected – not just me, but also my customs and my religion… My parents also are very proud of me, maybe a little bit too much.”
Regarding the treatment of the Palestinians by the IDF she said the following:
“People knew I was there and that I wouldn’t hold my tongue if need be, so they had a constant reminder to treat the Palestinians well. But really, their treatment was always full of respect.”
It is also worth noting that Israel was the first Middle Eastern country to allow “Arab” women to vote. Contrast that with South Africa which WAS an actual apartheid state, in which black people were not allowed to vote at all, period.
What about the African immigrants?
Israel was the only country in the Middle East that helped the people of Darfur when they were being persecuted by the Sudanese government. Israel has taken in a lot of African immigrants, mostly Islamic, and is now working to repatriate them. Of course there have been accusations of racism, but the people who are crying racist are some of the most racist people in the world (White Supremacists and Islamofascists).
The fact is Israel is a small country surrounded by enemies, and given that it is dangerous for them to take in large amounts of Muslim immigrants. But realistically, it is dangerous for any country to take in Muslim immigrants of any race. In spite of all the PC liberal propaganda, Islam is not a religion of peace any more than Nazism is. Islam has a long and bloody record of genocide, conquest, and forced conversion. In addition, modern Islam has spawned one of the ugliest most vile forms of persecution yet. I am of course referring to the custom of acid burning, which is most often directed at women in the Islamic world but is sometimes directed at men.
But I digress, Israel allowed many immigrants to come in from Syria, Egypt, and Jordan during the 1800′s and early 1900′s when they were rebuilding, and as a result those people mingled together and became the “Palestinians.” Since thet much of the world has been duped into thinking that the Palestinians are native to the region. Today the Palestinians are a huge problem for Israel. They are violent, and their undiscriminating attacks on Israel often hurt Arabs as well as Jews. In addition, none of Israel’s neighbors are willing to take them in, because they are using the Palestinians to fight Israel in proxy. The same thing could very well happen with the Islamic black Africans.
You might ask, “How can that be? They’re black. No one is going to think black people are the natives there.”
Really? Seriously? There is already a large group of people who insist dogmatically that black people are the native inhabitants of Egypt, which happens to be situated right next to Israel. Of course most of the people who believe that are black Americans, but that is still a large group of people. Also, there is a contiguous visual record of the type of people who lived in Egypt, yet still they believe the natives there were black. The same could happen with Israel, and the UN could take up that cause just like they have with the “Palestinians.”
Repatriating the black African Muslims is not about racism, it’s about survival. Israel was under no obligation to allow them in in the first place, and they are certainly under no obligation to allow them to stay. Israel has the right to survive, and to protect itself. No country is obligated to allow in foreign immigrants, especially not in large numbers. Similarly the US has the right to ban immigration from Mexico. That does not make them or us racist. We have our countries and they have theirs. It is not as though they are being denied having their own country, which is what the enemies of Israel would like to see happen for the Jews.
That is all for now, I will speak more on Israel later.
I have decided that femanazis are the basically the female equivalent of the extreme/orthodox Muslims who beat and mutilate their wives. If they ever took over completely we could expect to see a mirror image of the type of oppression that women receive in the Islamic world, but in this case it would be directed at men. They would take pride in mutilating the male sex organs, and in shaming men, just as Muslim men do with their own women quite often. Men would certainly be treated as second class citizens, and the legal system would be greatly biased against them.
It is very difficult to talk to them about anything because they automatically assume an adversarial stance towards all men, and they interpret any actions which follow in that light. I have seldom seen a group of people so fundamentally delusional. On the one hand they insist that there are no fundamental differences between men and women (cultural Marxism), and on the other hand they insist on viewing history as a continual struggle between men and women. It is similar to the way cultural Marxists insist that there is no such thing as race, but then they turn around and talk about how white people are responsible for all the trouble in the world. The contradictions within the cultural Marxist paradigm are truly maddening.
The best thing to do is not even debate with femanazis, or at least do not debate their issues with them. If you do, then all it will come down to is them making a wide range of insults and personal accusations against you. You can either rebut them only to have the femanazi reiterate them, or you can return insult for insult. Either way is a waste of time. Just ignore them, they are stupid.
They are a huge part of the reason why the majority of the white race will go extinct by the next century. In the next century the only moderate to large white populations that will be left will be Eastern Europeans (moderate), Iranians, and the wonderful peaceful Afghans. White men are pairing up with more non-white women these days because white women are driving us away. It’s as simple as that. So femanazis, be angry if you want, hate us if you want
They want us to think that we must either submit to their madness or go gay, but in fact there are many other options out there for us. I personally recommend Indian and Asian women, although there are indeed other options beyond those. The femanazis are only taking themselves out of the breeding population with their hate and madness, which is why the left has to keep reiterating their garbage, because otherwise it would die off completely.
This could be the next Trayvon, another teenager was shot for his behavior and the media and the family are attempting to criminalize the shooter. This is yet another piece in the political left’s war on personal responsibility. Basically what happened was a 19 year old Mexican drug runner was shot as he attempted to run from the cops and cross the border into Mexico. He had a 17 year old kid in the car with him who the cops were able to apprehend. They were smuggling Marijuana. Once they reached the border the 19 year old Carlos La Madrid attempted to climb over the wall while a Mexican man on top of the wall threw rocks at the cop cars.
So now the mother, Guadalupe Guerrero, who can’t even speak English wants to sue. She insists that there were no drugs in her son’s car, and that the cops shot him for no reason. It is probably safe to assume that this woman is an illegal immigrant, and that Carlos was an anchor baby. This is America, we speak English here. No one who cannot speak English should have the ability to sue, vote, or receive social services. That’s crap. But look at her comments:
“Why did they kill him? Who are they to play God?”
He was shot because he was running drugs and attempting to flee arrest by crossing the border into another country where the cops would have no jurisdiction. They ordered him to stop and he kept running. Perhaps Rudy Eugene is also an innocent victim? After all, Rudy Eugene was only chewing off a man’s face, and even though the cops shot him because he refused to stop when ordered, it is still the cops’ fault because they didn’t give Rudy Eugene enough time to see reason. After all, everyone is the same, and everyone is capable of being reasoned with according to the political left. But I digress, what the cops did here has nothing to do with playing God. They were just doing their job, that’s it. Guadalupe raised a bad son, and now she is mad because not only is she having to face the consequences of that but also because it reflects poorly on her.
“I say he didn’t have drugs, but let’s suppose he did,” Guerrero said. “Let’s suppose he had 40 pounds of marijuana. You think that’s dangerous enough to kill a young boy, an American citizen? Why not send him to jail?”
This woman is in a severe state of denial. She is in no position to say he didn’t have drugs. In any event, he was not shot for having the drugs, he was shot for trying to evade the cops. If the cops had not shot him then he would have gotten away. If he had surrendered to the cops instead of trying to illegally cross into Mexico then he would have gone to jail instead of getting shot. What are the cops supposed to do when criminals run away? Are they supposed to sit there and cry about it? There is a reason why drugs are illegal. That fool Rudy Eugene was on Marijuana when he attacked the other man and chewed off his face (http://www.mediaite.com/online/zombie-watch-face-eating-man-did-not-actually-swallow-flesh-gloria-allred-is-now-involved/). Drugs make people crazy. They make people lose their inhibitions and increase the chances that they will do something harmful to someone else.
“That’s the only thing the United States government cares about — money,”
Yes the government does care about money, and control, at the Federal level, but that does not apply to cops and border patrol. There are other more lucrative jobs. The people who join the police, or the border patrol, or the army, or whatever are trying to make our country a safer place. If they were to let the criminals go then life would be a good deal more dangerous. Of course if there were no cops then it could be left up to the people to defend themselves, which may actually be better.
I have also been looking at some of the comments, and people are saying that there is no reason to shoot someone for a Marijuana case. No reason? Rudy Eugene. Nothing more than that needs to be said.
I bet no one saying “well drug smuggling is a dangerous business” ever made a bad decision when they were a kid. I hope your children never make any bad choices.
I have seen similar comments about Trayvon Martin regarding his drug use. Yes, I did make some bad choices growing up, but those were things like showing up late for class, skipping homework assignments, and propositioning the wrong girl in middle school. I never had anything to do with drugs. Not every teenage kid does drugs, it is not a normal teenage indescretion even in these morally inverted times. I don’t even want to hear that talk, I’m sick of hearing it. Take responsibility for your own self and for the fact that you raised bad seed. As for my children, I intend to raise them correctly so that they will not indulge in criminal behavior. If I ever did fail massively as a parent and have a child who did drugs you can safely bet that he would be thrown out of my house and probably disowned. Whatever he does after that is on him. But most of these problems can be evaded simply by raising your children properly, if that is so hard to do then you are not cut out for having children, and should have yourself fixed in order to spare yourself and society from the suffering they will cause.
Hello everyone, I would like to announce that I have created a youtube account to go along with my blog page. I have been keeping videos there which I intended to use as supplementary material for my blogs, but I have also started vlogging. Here is my first vlog:
My username on youtube is AmbrosiusAR. Check it out and feel free to contact me on youtube if you have your own account.
Of course none of this means that I will stop blogging here, only that I am expanding my operations. Let me know what you think.
Of course the title of this entry was intended to express sarcasm. I do not actually believe that feminsts are wonderful people. They are among the most difficult and irrational people in the world.
I found this comment on youtube, which typifies feminist thought and behavior:
JIMP, and your disappointingly predictable reaction, is prominent evidence that men refuse to acknowledge that harassment of women is deadly (explative deleted) serious. Women have to deal with the consequences of men’s refusal to respect our human right to not be hit on, that we do not exist for male sexual…
This comment is an example of typical feminist vitriol and methodology, where opinions and beliefs are expressed as facts. No one has the right to be hit on, or to not be hit on (except for perhaps married people). In the majority of cultures around the world it is expected that the men approach the women, although that does not stop some women from approaching men. I met two of my girlfriends that way (the first and the present). In the real world someone has to approach someone else with a proposition or humanity will cease to exist. If anyone, man or woman, is upset with the type or quality of individuals that approach them, all they have to do is take the initiative themselves. If people do not respond to your initiative then that is their right, just like you are not obligated to accept everyone who approaches you. I have been appproached by some nasty women that I would never consider touching even if they were the only option. Did I get mad and hold all women responsible? No, that would be stupid. If someone is interested in you, and they have no way of knowing that you will be unavailable and/or uninterested, then they are not at fault for trying and have done noting fundamentally wrong. Now, if they continue to harrass you after you have made it clear that you are uninterested THEN they are at fault, and at that point you can pursue legal action.
In general I try to avoid interacting with feminists as much as possible. While I do believe that feminism as an ideology can and should be addressed, I do not believe that debating with the average feminist on an individual basis is a productive use of time. I do spend time debating with Muslims and Evolutionsts. Some of those debates can become quite heated but it is usually possible to have a debate with them, because regardless of who is right those issues are dealing with matters of fact not opinion. While our beliefs differ, we are still dealing with issues of reality. For example, regardless of whether matter and energy was put there by a deity, or it just appeared there from nothing, the fact of the matter is that it is there now and at some point it was not. So we each take facts and logic to argue for our respective positions.
When it comes to feminism, they deal in the realm of opinions and emotion, and there can be no rational with someone whose basis for belief is entirely emotional. The will not only interpret reality through a subjective lense, but will also interpret your comments and motivations in that light. So again, feminism should be addressed, as it is too big to ignore, but not every individual feminist needs to be addressed. If one is going to debate with a feminist then be prepared to deal with lots of hate and anger, and restrict your arguments to the facts. Feminists will try to squirm all over the place and steer the conversation down irrelevant paths, but you must restrict the argument to the few matters of fact involved and ignore the rest.
I would now like to address some of the key beliefs of feminism:
1. Collective guilt: Feminists believe that if one man does something nasty then all men are somehow responsible. So if a man someplace beats his wife then I am also partially responsible according to the feminists logic. Of course in real life no one is responsible for the actions of individuals who are beyond their control. Holding me responsible for the rapists and wife beaters would be like me holding all women responsible for Casey Anthony. Guilt occurs on an individual basis.
2. Most violent crime and rape is perpetrated by men: Perhaps most, but definitely not all. If there were not such a gap between men and women in terms of physical strength then the numbers would probably be equal. For example, if I am walking down the street what are the odds that I am going to get beat up and raped by a woman? Very small. Even if I go into a bad neighborhood, the odds that I will be physically overpowered by a woman are small enough to be considered irrelevant. Inability does not automatically indicate virtue. In fact, if women were just as strong as men then the world would be a very different place, probably much more violent as women tend to hold onto their anger longer than men, on average. But as for rape, I have no problem with rapists being locked up indefinitely or killed, but to say that all men are rapists or violent is blatantly wrong. Hold the criminals responsible, and leave the rest of us alone. I don’t want to be lumped in with the wife beaters any more than the average feminist wants to be lumped in with Casey Anthony. Interestingly enough, it seems that the majority of cases where a parent murders their children the perp is female. At least, based on what I have seen, and that is not factoring in abortions.
3. Men and women are essentially the same: Feminists often argue that there are no inherent differences between men and women, and that women can do everything that men can do. Really? How many women can pee standing up? How many women can impregnate someone, and how many women can bench press 500 pounds? Also, how many men can get pregnant or engage in breast feeding? Men and women are different on multiple levels, both physically and mentally. To say that these differences are made up or that there should be no specific gender roles is asinine.
The way men and women think is inherently different on multiple levels. How many women care about sports? How many men care about soap operas and romance flicks? When a couple sits and watches a movie together the woman is more likely to be intrigued by the romance scenes, while the man is more likely to be intrigued by the fight scenes. Of course I realize that there are exceptions but in general this is how it is. Women are more likely to saw “AAWW” when they see someone else’s baby, while men are more likely not to notice someone else’s baby. Women are instinctively oriented towards child bearing, while men are more instinctively oriented toward making it possible to bear children. By that I mean that men tend to draw their self esteem from personal achievments, such as being succesful at work. Women tend to draw their self esteem from horizontal relationships. Men are more concerned about being respected than loved, women are more concerned with being loved than respected. I could go on but this should be enough.
4. Having specific gender roles is oppressive: No it is not. Division of labor based on natural ability is logical, and mitigates conflict. Why does everyone need to do the same thing? Or even worse, why should we flip the roles around? No reason for it in either case. Women are more likely to empathize with the children, and have compassion for them, while the man is more likely to provide logic and discpiline. Both parents are necessary to raise properly functioning children.
I believe that if finances allow, it is best for the wife to stay home. In primitive societies the fact that women have periods and can get pregnant is enough to exclude them from hunting expiditions, especially long term hunting expiditions. In advanced societies the need to have a director permanently stationed in the house while children are there remains.
JIMP, and your disappointingly predictable reaction, is prominent evidence that men refuse to acknowledge that harassment of women is deadly (explative deleted) serious. Women have to deal with the consequences of men’s refusal to respect our human right to not be hit on, that we do not exist for male sexual…

If anyone, man or woman, is upset with the type or quality of individuals that approach them, all they have to do is take the initiative themselves. If people do not respond to your initiative then that is their right, just like you are not obligated to accept everyone who approaches you. I have been appproached by some nasty women that I would never consider touching even if they were the only option. Did I get mad and hold all women responsible? No, that would be stupid. If someone is interested in you, and they have no way of knowing that you will be unavailable and/or uninterested, then they are not at fault for trying and have done noting fundamentally wrong. Now, if they continue to harrass you after you have made it clear that you are uninterested THEN they are at fault, and at that point you can pursue legal action.
In general I try to avoid interacting with feminists as much as possible. While I do believe that feminism as an ideology can and should be addressed, I do not believe that debating with the average feminist on an individual basis is a productive use of time. I do spend time debating with Muslims and Evolutionsts. Some of those debates can become quite heated but it is usually possible to have a debate with them, because regardless of who is right those issues are dealing with matters of fact not opinion. While our beliefs differ, we are still dealing with issues of reality. For example, regardless of whether matter and energy was put there by a deity, or it just appeared there from nothing, the fact of the matter is that it is there now and at some point it was not. So we each take facts and logic to argue for our respective positions.
When it comes to feminism, they deal in the realm of opinions and emotion, and there can be no rational with someone whose basis for belief is entirely emotional. The will not only interpret reality through a subjective lense, but will also interpret your comments and motivations in that light. So again, feminism should be addressed, as it is too big to ignore, but not every individual feminist needs to be addressed. If one is going to debate with a feminist then be prepared to deal with lots of hate and anger, and restrict your arguments to the facts. Feminists will try to squirm all over the place and steer the conversation down irrelevant paths, but you must restrict the argument to the few matters of fact involved and ignore the rest.
I would now like to address some of the key beliefs of feminism:
1. Collective guilt: Feminists believe that if one man does something nasty then all men are somehow responsible. So if a man someplace beats his wife then I am also partially responsible according to the feminists logic. Of course in real life no one is responsible for the actions of individuals who are beyond their control. Holding me responsible for the rapists and wife beaters would be like me holding all women responsible for Casey Anthony. Guilt occurs on an individual basis.
2. Most violent crime and rape is perpetrated by men: Perhaps most, but definitely not all. If there were not such a gap between men and women in terms of physical strength then the numbers would probably be equal. For example, if I am walking down the street what are the odds that I am going to get beat up and raped by a woman? Very small. Even if I go into a bad neighborhood, the odds that I will be physically overpowered by a woman are small enough to be considered irrelevant. Inability does not automatically indicate virtue. In fact, if women were just as strong as men then the world would be a very different place, probably much more violent as women tend to hold onto their anger longer than men, on average. But as for rape, I have no problem with rapists being locked up indefinitely or killed, but to say that all men are rapists or violent is blatantly wrong. Hold the criminals responsible, and leave the rest of us alone. I don’t want to be lumped in with the wife beaters any more than the average feminist wants to be lumped in with Casey Anthony. Interestingly enough, it seems that the majority of cases where a parent murders their children the perp is female. At least, based on what I have seen, and that is not factoring in abortions.
3. Men and women are essentially the same: Feminists often argue that there are no inherent differences between men and women, and that women can do everything that men can do. Really? How many women can pee standing up? How many women can impregnate someone, and how many women can bench press 500 pounds? Also, how many men can get pregnant or engage in breast feeding? Men and women are different on multiple levels, both physically and mentally. To say that these differences are made up or that there should be no specific gender roles is asinine.
The way men and women think is inherently different on multiple levels. How many women care about sports? How many men care about soap operas and romance flicks? When a couple sits and watches a movie together the woman is more likely to be intrigued by the romance scenes, while the man is more likely to be intrigued by the fight scenes. Of course I realize that there are exceptions but in general this is how it is. Women are more likely to saw “AAWW” when they see someone else’s baby, while men are more likely not to notice someone else’s baby. Women are instinctively oriented towards child bearing, while men are more instinctively oriented toward making it possible to bear children. By that I mean that men tend to draw their self esteem from personal achievments, such as being succesful at work. Women tend to draw their self esteem from horizontal relationships. Men are more concerned about being respected than loved, women are more concerned with being loved than respected. I could go on but this should be enough.
4. Having specific gender roles is oppressive: No it is not. Division of labor based on natural ability is logical, and mitigates conflict. Why does everyone need to do the same thing? Or even worse, why should we flip the roles around? No reason for it in either case. Women are more likely to empathize with the children, and have compassion for them, while the man is more likely to provide logic and discpiline. Both parents are necessary to raise properly functioning children.
I believe that if finances allow, it is best for the wife to stay home. In primitive societies the fact that women have periods and can get pregnant is enough to exclude them from hunting expiditions, especially long term hunting expiditions. In advanced societies the need to have a director permanently stationed in the house while children are there remains.
That is all I have to say on this for now.
